The Systeme Internationale (SI) date/time format works in decreasing size of unit
YYYY/MM/DD/HH/MM/SS
Yes. And for machine parsing that's by far the best way. But for human use, you're most likely to know the year already and what you need to know first is the position within the year; next Thursday? And if you need to look up the year, well there it is at the end... What is bonkers is the US format which dodges about with no rationale at all.
